Thriller
Laura Lippman meets Megan Abbott in this suspenseful
literary debut about three generations of neighbors whose
lives intersect in the aftermath of a crime.
Bernard White is a curmudgeonly widower who has lived in
Seven Springs, Florida for decades and has kept to himself
since his wife passed. When his neighbor is murdered, he
emerges from his solitude to reconnect with his fellow
octogenarians. These connections become a literal lifeline
as a second, and then a third, elderly woman is murdered,
and “the originals” as they call themselves, realize that
they are being targeted. Amy Unger is an artist and cancer survivor whose emotional
recovery has not been as successful as her physical one.
After the woman next door is murdered, she begins to paint
imagined scenes from the murder in an effort to cope with
her own loss. But when her paintings prove to be too
realistic, her neighbors grow suspicious, and she soon
finds herself in the crosshairs of the police. And then there’s Maddie Lowe, a teenage waitress whose
mother recently abandoned the family. As Maddie struggles
to keep her family together and maintain the appearance of
normal teenage life, she finds herself drawn to the man
the police say is the killer. As they navigate their increasingly dangerous and
tumultuous worlds, Bernard, Amy, and Maddie begin to
uncover the connections between them, and the past and
present, in a novel that ultimately proves the power of
tragedy to spark renewal.
